Event Planners Comments

Many a planner like myself must breathe a huge sigh of relief when they see the first orienteers cross that finish line. Happy at last that the correct controls are at the proper sites and that none of them have been vandalised by the local boot boys. On first impressions of the map of Roseisle, it would look fairly straightforward to plan a couple of courses. However on closer inspection, there is only about 20% of the map page that is suitable. There is about a 500m swathe of interesting terrain running SW to NE bordered by the sea to the north and flat featureless forest to the south. i.e. England. Plus there was the added problem of recent tree felling and meteorite blast damage in the centre of the map. The courses to be planned had to be suitably testing for both the straight line experienced orienteer and the track running novice. Thus I found it a challenge to plan a ladies and mens course within this criteria. Thanks to Mike Rodgers for keeping me in control and not letting me get too ambitious. Despite these problems Roseisle is a great picturesque orienteering forest, especially when it is sunny !! From the many comments I received I think most had an enjoyable day.
